a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

Day 265: Utilities, Groceries, and New Tunes

The only out-of-the-house shopping I did today was a quick trip to the grocery store because we were all out of milk.  The Husband paid a couple of utility bills today and gave me the receipts so I’ve included them as well.  My final spending of the day was in the form of a late-night iTunes [...]

Day 217: Two Tunes and a Trip to the Thrift Store

I was thinking that today was officially a no-spend day but I was in error.  I’d forgotten about my spur-of-the-moment but very well-timed trip to the thrift store this afternoon.
This morning I bought two songs off iTunes today though they don’t really count because I didn’t spend any money.  I bought the songs with my iTunes [...]

Day 131: Speech Therapy and Gospel Music

Today was crammed with appointments for me and The Son.  I started out the day with a morning appointment at my doctor’s office for a blood draw for a thyroid test.  Painful and annoying but no copay necessary — the insurance company should pick up the whole tab.
The next appointment was for The Son to [...]

Pixie Soap — $20.00
